Manglier (Groundsel bush, Baccharis halimifolia) is a Louisiana medicinal plant traditionally used in teas to treat cold, flu, fever, and respiratory congestion due to its strong antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies suggest it may help manage metabolic conditions like obesity and Type 2 diabetes
Key Health Benefits and Uses:
• Respiratory & Immune Health: Historically, Native American and Creole communities used manglier to combat colds, pneumonia, and mucus congestion. It is considered an immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral agent.
• Metabolic Support: Research indicates that extracts from the stem and leaves show potential to combat inflammation in fat cells, improve insulin sensitivity, and assist with weight management.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Studies have shown it contains compounds that reduce chronic inflammation.
• Traditional Remedy: Known as a “cure-all” in folk medicine, it was historically used for digestive issues and as a general tonic.
Preparation and Precautions:
• Usage: Manglier is typically brewed as a strong, bitter tea from its leaves and stems. It is often sweetened with honey or lemon to offset the bitterness.
• Safety: While traditionally used for generations, it is considered a potent medicinal herb. Consult a healthcare provider before using it, especially for chronic conditions.

Garden clean up going strong!! Hydroponics still pumping and 200 seeds under lights and 20 plants ready for outside… Let’s not forget 5,000 seeds ready to plant… peppers gardening calendula swisschard tatsoi

03/05/2026

Tatsoi is a member of the brassica family—along with mustard greens and Brussels sprouts. It has rounded leaves shaped like a spoon, which have a buttery texture and a slightly sweet flavor. It has a pleasant, sweet aroma and a mild mustard flavor. Tatsoi is often compared to spinach because of its similar appearance, and because it shrinks significantly when cooked. The taste, however, is entirely different. Tatsoi’s flavors are sweet and earthy.
